Description:
Tabsheet names can get confusingly out-of-sequence or duplicated when new ones are created

How to repeat:
Create a few Tabsheets using the 'plus' button at left side of first Tabsheet's tab. Say 6.

Delete Tabsheets 2 & 3. Note how Tabsheets 4, 5 & 6 shift left to close up the gaps (as expected).

Add a couple more Tabsheets. Note how these will be numbered Tabsheets 5 & 6, despite there being Tabsheets 5 & 6 already.

Suggested fix:
My hunch is that the Tabsheets inherit their number from the position they are in the collection of Tabsheets, rather than having any bearing on what other numbers Tabsheets have been given previously. This hunch is based on the fact that if you visit 'Inline Help' when you have only Tabsheet1 to start with, and then create a new Tabsheet, it'll be given the number 3 (positional), not 2.

Solution? Index the tabsheets by their name, or allow the user to alter the given name to something of their own (and instantiate all Tabsheets with the default name of just 'Tabsheet')
